when my name’s turned off alarms reveal 
it’s just a history concealed 
i dial m for means and l for love 
if you take the call i’ll take the charge 

alarms are waking you sometimes 
and when they do, they make you get up 
but this old sound won’t rise to wake 
as i arrive here far too late 

all at once and all the same 
as we arrive too late again 
what i’ve done to tuck you in 
has taken over everything 

wake up to rise 
for lowdown’s not mine 
by trying it loud 
i feel the sound 
hear my alert 
my sweet concern 
my dearest state is to 
arrive once again 
you’d better check it out alarms are waking you sometimes 
i’ll try to do without they’ve been around here for a while 
this motherfucking sound high-rise and lowdown moods surround 
can’t seem to get it right all i have gained my safer ground 
but i’ll long for it tonight 

all at once and all the same 
as we arrive too late again 
what i’ve done to tuck you in 
has taken over everything
